General Information

About Andre:	I live in South Africa, a country confronted with social paradox-a deep divide between "have" and "have not". I am in a privileged position-I enjoy the benefits of a good education and standard of living but I also have a real understanding about the implications of poverty in South Africa...and the rest of Africa. Millions of children do not have access to safe water and sanitation. Thousands die every day from waterborne diseases that are almost unknonw in developed countries and that are avoidable. I am passionate about preserving the environment and addressing water/sanitation challenges in Africa.
Networks:	Johannesburg, South Africa
Gender:	Male
Birthday:	November 20, 1962
Current Organisation:	Self employed
What kind of positive change do you want to create in the world over the next 12 months?:	South Africa is a major driver of change in Africa...but we are still grappling with regulations that will govern the implementation of renewable energy solutions. My "energy" will go into finding innnovative financial models for RE.
